Laith Marouf

DW—Laith lays out the developing conditions for the anti-Zionist resistance across West Asia, and the chaotic situation in Syria, where the dynamics seem to be indicating the possibility of some coalescing of anti-Israeli and anti-Turkey forces with possibly surprising results. 

EDITOR—Laith explains why Iran and the rest of the anti-Colonialist resistance forces—from Hezbollah to Hamas and the Houthis, plus Iraqi militias, etc., must exercise patience in fighting an enemy as devious and depraved as the Zionist entity and its sponsor, the US Empire, lest a quick victory by the liberation forces detonate a panic to save their privileged position on the back of nuclear weapons. This translates into many more victims for the Resistance, the price Palestinians, Lebanese, Syrians, Houthis and other nationalities must pay to attain victory without plunging all of humanity into a nuclear winter. 

FPTV—Laith Marouf & Hadi Hotait pick up Richard Medhurst from Beirut airport as he takes a break from political persecution in Austria and the UK, and immediately take him to the borders of South Lebanon and Occupied Palestine to witness the largest funeral in the history of Hizbullah, as more than 100 fighters are laid to rest in Aitaroun. They also meet two generations of al-Hijazi family who returned from Australia to bury their martyrs.

EDITOR—Laith explains why anti-imperialists and supporters of the cause of Palestinian freedom must be patient with tactical and strategic choices made by most of the Resistance—from Hezbollah to Hamas and Iran—as a faster and far more aggressive pace of victories could easily spark a nuclear Armageddon by the cornered and demented forces of the Empire. Currently, Iran and its allies—including Russia and China—are slowly dislodging the Empire from its habitual domains, and the US Empire is, after all, in decline. This decline is however underscored by Washington’s recklessness in using all types of tools, including subversion and outright wars, to hold on to its hegemony. 

• Renowned anti-imperialist journalist Laith Marouf  a man of tremendous talent and exceptional courage, explains to Nima what the current situation is in Palestine, and the picture does not look good for Palestinians or even Yemenis, who face the unrelenting and murderous military assault of the Empire, as it builds pressure to subjugate Iran. The ultimate object is to defeat multipolarism, of which Iran is the biggest pillar in West Asia. Meanwhile, aside from a miracle, the fate of Gazans looks extremely bleak, since as usual, the Gulf Arabs are busy doing their treacherous moves, with the Empire and Europeans looking the other way or outright supporting Israel, while sociopathic Israel continues its ethnic cleansing genocidal attack.
